A former assistant to Vin Diesel, one of Hollywood’s most bankable action stars, filed a sexual battery lawsuit against the actor on Thursday, saying that he groped her and pinned her against the wall of an Atlanta hotel room during the filming of the fifth “Fast & Furious” movie in 2010.
In the lawsuit, the former assistant, Asta Jonasson, said the encounter took place less than two weeks after she was hired to work for Mr. Diesel.
She says that Diesel assaulted him in the hotel suite. She also stated that he was fired after the incident. She registered the case in Los Angeles on Thursday.
56-year-old Diesel's real name is Mark Sinclair.
She is also suing Diesel's sister Samantha Vincent and the production company.
